Whitham Road, Glenbrook, Auckland

New Zealand Steel - Glenbrook

After many years of trying New Zealanders learned how to make steel from ironsands containing titanium. An epic story.
This is now an export business. Ironsands are piped in a slurry from Waikato North Head and coal comes by rail from Rotowaro. Electricity is both produced on the site and imported.
There is a viewing point on Williams road.
